Fowlkes becomes the 17th commit of Missouri’s 2025 class.

FLIP-MAS IS SO BACK, BABY!

We’re two days into the “offseason” of Mizzou Football after the Tigers wrapped up a 9-win regular season against Arkansas on Saturday night. And Eli Drinkwitz has wasted no time in hitting the ‘crootin trail.

One day after flipping 4-star RB Marquise Davis from Kentucky, the Tigers pulled off another flip, this time from 4-star WR DaMarion Fowlkes, who was previously committed to Pat Narduzzi and Pittsburgh.

Mizzou already had two enticing WR talents in Shaun Terry and Donovan Olugbode in this class. But based on his advanced tape, adding Fowlkes two days before National Signing Day feels like a coup.

Fowlkes is a fast, shifty receiver who looks to have plenty of experience in the return game as well as getting the ball in various looks out of the backfield. And it would be a stretch to call his route tree college-ready, it’s definitely more versatile than the typical “go-route-at-all-costs” look that many high school receivers bring to the table. He’s comfortable receiving the ball in the middle of the field, and is a physical enough YAC runner that he can fight off tacklers in the open field. I think there’s a little bit of Mookie Cooper in his game, especially if he can put a little more speed in his legs.
